Check in and out

Odoo's **Attendances** application allows users, who are logged into the database, to check in and
out without needing to go into the **Attendances** application, or use a kiosk. For smaller
companies, where every employee is also a user, this feature may be useful.

A user can check in and/or out on the main database Odoo dashboard, or while inside any application.
To do so, in the upper-right corner of the top main header menu, which is always visible regardless
of what application the user is in, a :guilabel:`🔴 (red circle)` or :guilabel:`🟢 (green circle)`
is visible. Click on the colored circle to reveal the attendance widget, enabling the user to check
in and/or out.

If the user has not already checked in and out during the current work day, this button is the only
visible item in the widget. If the user has previously checked in and out, a :guilabel:`Total today`
field appears above the button, and the total amount of time that has been logged for the day
appears in that field, in an :guilabel:`HH:MM` (hours:minutes) format.
